About this map

The Teton River carves a deep, winding canyon through this agricultural landscape on the border of Fremont and Madison Counties. The intricate irrigation network defines the region's development, with numerous waterways including the Crosscut Canal, Chester Canal, and the multi-branch Fall River Canal systems distributing water from the Fall River in the north. This complex infrastructure supports the small settlements of Newdale and Chester, while the rural surroundings are marked by family-named landmarks such as Reed Parkinson Rd and Williams Way.

Tracing the path of Teton Dam Rd toward the river canyon provides a geographical perspective on this specific drainage system. To the north, Hog Hollow and the Chester Cem sit amidst a grid of section roads that reflect the long-standing township and range surveying system. The map documents the persistent reliance on gravity-fed water, visible in the Canyon Cr Canal and E Teton Canal, which remain central to the local economy and settlement patterns.
